Constant stress doesn’t just affect your mood; it can rewire your nervous system. Over time, this makes pain feel sharper, sleep harder, and recovery slower.
When your nervous system stays in “fight or flight,” your body can’t fully rest or heal. Stress hormones like cortisol increase inflammation, lower your pain threshold, and disrupt digestion, immunity, and mental clarity.
But the damage isn’t permanent. Chiropractic care, mindful movement, and lifestyle shifts can help reset your nervous system and support lasting relief.
At Westwood Family Chiropractic, we create individualized care plans to help patients in Westwood and nearby areas restore balance and feel better naturally.
